Hi Sasha, sorry I didn't respond earlier!! bad bad bad... About the m/c I am fine with it. I have talked alot about it and it is very common, but women don't ever talk about it. So I think it makes you think it is your fault or you could have somehow prevented it. But I know that is not the case and I am truely ok. Not that I wouldn't give my right arm for it not to have happened, but it did and here I am. What cd are you on? How are you feeling? Don't you go in tomorrow for ultrasound?? Keep me posted and let me know how it goes. I am going nuts, did hpt this morning and got bfp, but hcg shot could still be in system. I researched it out and it said that lots of times it is out of your system in 10 days and today is day 10 for me????? SO I am trying to not get too excited incase it is a false bfp. I'll keep you posted. I'll probably test in another couple days-yeah right I am a pee stick addict so I'll probably keep testing for the next few days. Hang in there and rub that belly for luck.

Hi jcr I am on cd 7. All the clear blue easy opk's have been negative so far which is good it means I'm not o'ing to early like last month. Hopefully I will get a positive one in the next couple of days. I'm making sure I bd every other day so I will definately catch it this time. As soon as I get a + opk I have to schedule my blood work I have an appt. for it on friday but I'm going to reschedule it. How are you feeling? My side affects from the femara have gone away. I hope your bfp stays that way. I don't no much about the hcg shot what exactly does it do?

Hi jcr I have been slight + on the OPK for 2 days and I've been temping. I dropped to 96.4 yesterday this morning I'm 97.2 and thats the highest it's been. But I haven't gotten a good + yet. I'm also very crampy on the left so I'm wondering if I'm O'ing. I'm having a hard time with OPK's this month. I go for a blood test 8 days after O. I don't now about the hcg shot she's never said anything about it. I hope your bfp is real. What cd are you on? Hasn't it been over the 10 day limit of it staying in your system? I hope friday is your day. How are you feeling any symtoms yet? Baby dust

I talk to the dr today if I don't get pg this cycle they are going to be alot more aggressive with my next cycle. I have my monthly visit on Feb 27 the day AF is scheduled to visit. I hope I get a bfp this month. jcr any word on your bfp?

 

jcr - February 8

No word on bfp yet. I go in thursday for bloodwork if no AF, I am still getting faint + tho. If you are concerned about o'ing and timing request an ultrasound. That is what I did. They can give you one to measure the follicles and see about when you'll ovulate. I think when your temp goes up is when you ovulate. Then it may take another jump when implantation takes place. This is the first month I gave up on temping. It's been nice to relax a bit. Goodluck and I'll keep you posted. I don't want to start listing symptoms because I don't want to get my hopes up!! I'll let you know what they were if they are in fact real. Hang in there and keep bding!! Bellyrubs

jcr they give you a u/s before you O? I thought it was after. Shows how much I know. I'm still numb to alot of it. I'll get a book if I'm not pg this month so I can understand more she said if I don't O by friday then I need to have the blood test that day or early next week to see if I did. I have to take a OPK in about 15 min. hopefully it will be +. I'll let you know.

Sasha, they can (and you can request ) an ultrasound to see how big the follicles are and how many. I am actually suprised they didn't request one that is the only way they can tell if a follicle was produced, then they usually do a progesterone test 7-8 days after to confirm ovulation. Good luck and get busy just in case!

I'd ask her to do an ultrasound on friday if no +opk, not better yet-I'd tell her you want one done to see where and how everything is!! bellyrubs.

 

SashaP - February 8

She is going to do the blood test 8 days after. Maybe they will do the U/S next month if I'm not pg. As far as dh goes I feel like beating him right now. We agreed on bd every other day before I started this cycle, last night he wouldn't put out. He said it is becoming too much of a science project I'm assuming he just tired and in a bad mood. He better be willing tonight. I haven't gotten a good + on the OPK yet by my temp dropped again big time this morning so hopefully I haven't missed it I'll test with my OPK again tonight. I'll keep you posted. Are you still getting bfp's?

 

jcr - February 8

I am still getting bfp's this morning was darker! I go for b/w tomorrow. I'll post more later

 

SashaP - February 8

Thats great jcr keep me posted.

Sasha were every diagnosed with pcos?? I am too lazy to read through to find out? I have it also and my Re's nurse said that it is possible that opk's aren't acurate for me and the only way to know is through ultrasound. I don't mean to keep going on about ultrasound. But I cannot believe your Dr hasn't requested one. It is the only way of telling the quality of follicles and exactly when. I would make a phone call to discuss this with her. I probably would have missed my o this month if I'd have continued with opks and ewcm I thought for sure I had ovulated 3 days before my ultrasound confirmed I was close. Then the hcg shot stimulated the dropping of the egg. I guess I am contributing my success (fingers crossed) to taking all the guess work out. Goodluck and hang in there.

 

SashaP - February 8

No I haven't been diagnosed with pcos I don't have symptoms. My af is very regular and have had u/s for other things just not O. My big problem was I tried the Arbonne Proleif cream and it threw my cycle through a loop and I couldn't stop spotting, even when they put me back on the pill they couldn't stop it. It didn't stop for well over a year. After I had my sonohystagram and HSG test done I finally stopped. I never really had a hard time O'ing they started me on fertility drugs to give me a good boost and a good lining. How did you know you had pcos?

 

SashaP - February 9

I finally got a + opk and my temp dropped more I was 97.2 2 days a go 96.6 yesterday and today 95.8 thats a pretty big drop. Hopefully it works this month. I have to call the Dr office to get my blood work set up. I'll keep you posted.
